If you're nostalgic for this sort of thing, it regularly pops up on UKNova - you'll need to register (free), and maintain a Leech/Seed ratio, but there are great things to be had:-


EastEnders & Grange Hill from the 80's & 90's;
Absolutely (including The Vido - discontinued);
Adverts from long ago - even 60's sometimes;
Demon Headmaster;
Marmalade Atkins;
Common As Muck;
Desmonds;
Fist Of Fun;
In Sickness & In Health;
Me & My Girl;
Not The 9 O'Clock News;
Horizon & Panorama...


...basically anything that isn't currently out on Video/DVD, and is British in origin (no Neighbours or Buffy) - I'm still waiting for Sapphire & Steel...

Got full series / box set's for the following here which can all be found on amazon.co.uk or e-bay @ quite a good price:

Chorlton & The Wheelies
Jamie & The Magic Torch
Danger Mouse

Currently have Mysterious Cites Of Gold downloaded, but also have it on order from a good supplier in the States: Tim Skutt The Original author of the Mysterious Cities of Gold Fan Made 8 Disc DVD set (Currently £25 I have been quoted by Tim which is a fantastic deal considering the work that has gone into the collection), also got Tin Tin downloading right now.

Have to say my fave out of all this lot has to be Chorlton & The Wheelies.

Thats the problem with MCoG, the ones that you are able to find are rough copies at best, & also noting that i'm quite an Anime fan (Akira being one of my faves), I'm pretty well used to watching stuff with subs. In fact some english audio transcribes often turn the show in question to shit depending on how accurate the transcription is.

[mrmystery83]

Ah yes some classics i remember watching that haven't been mentioned here:
Thomas The Tank (Also rude rhyming slang lol)
Bertha (Am i the only one that remembers that?)
Postman Pat
TMNT
Button Moon
Dungeons And Dragons (my mate has a complete DVD boxset of that)
Transformers
Thundercats
He-Man
Inspector Gadget (not the crappy films)

Don't want to sound about 80 here but it's true they really don't make them like they used to.

[Jimmy_mac]

Dungeons And Dragons (my mate has a complete DVD boxset of that)

well kinda, cos sadly the series was never finished as for some reason it got cancelled before the final epsiodes went into production. However the script is available on the web and gives an interesting twist at the end

[stanmarsh14]

What is it these days with kids shows, its all american or japanese crap. Its either got a load of fat kids speaking latino every other sentence or its some bizarre cartoon advertising a card game no one understands.

Bring back the classics such as Cities of Gold, Danger Mouse, Ulysess 31, Around the world with Willy Fog, the science show with Johnny Ball, Johnny Briggs, Star Fleet, Battle of the Planets, Jamie and the magic torch, Wide awake club. trapdoor, count duckula, wacky races, tom and jerry, pink panther, and the looney toon cartoons which never seem to be on anymore either (especially loved wiley coyote vs roadrunner)

Kids grow up fast enough as it is, they don't need these modern day kids soap opera's pushing "issues" down their necks, they get enough of that at school

You must be around 30 years old as this is the exact stuff I watched when I was young. lol

By the way channel 603 on sky for looney tunes. I put it on for my kids.......honest.
